Manchester City 6-0 Nottingham Forest (Premier League) 31.08.22 Welcome to the Premier League, the game that Forest fans probably looked at with one eye open and the other covered up by a hand or two when the fixtures originally came out, well you might want to again look away now. Existing Champions Manchester City were…
One thing that the supporters of tonight’s headline Premier League match have in common is that the older and longer suffering fans of both Nottingham Forest and Manchester City will be able to familiarise themselves together, as one, with both glorious and dismaying pasts. These days the Citizens are used to winning silverware under Pep…

Oh how you red dogs are already wanting to shoot me down for even bringing this up in a headline. It made you look though, clickbait is the word, you can thank Sport Bible, Lad Bible, Givemesport and all those other infuriating websites where each paragraph is separated by a Google ad for something your…
There was a time (well before the advent of the internet) when newspapers traditionally published football league tables after the first three games. Not any more! Hype, micro-coverage and the speed of information gathering-and-giving have combined to make us hunger (apparently!) for measurements of success and failure even before some teams have kicked a ball….
Newcastle United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (Premier League) 06.08.22 After a long summer of anticipation and excitement as well as many ins and outs following dramatic playoff promotion in May, Nottingham Forest were underwhelmingly and comprehensively beaten in their first Premier League match of the season, their first top flight outing in 23 years, all be…

And, going into our first Premier League game against…

Little did I know, when I began writing this column back in March, that I’d be penning a line with ‘Forest’ and ‘Premiership’ in the same sentence! And that play-off win against Huddersfield is enough to have any Reds supporter burst into song. They were already in fine voice when colonising Wembley on Sunday with…
Nottingham Forest are dreamers. But the line is meant to stop there. Within the confines of an East Midlands city lies a ground so steeped in history, so adorned with medals and trophies and stories of legend, and yet one so far removed from present day glory and achievement. Always the nearly team, and failing…
